The vibe is mixed-gay-straight, with cute waiters and a genuinely confectionery dream atmosphere.

“The Best Cafe”
Abbas here - The Griddle Cafe is a great cafe. The cake and the tree (yes, the tree) add a romantic, private, and pleasant atmosphere. The waiters are good-looking, and the french toast is excellent. Arrive early because there's often a long wait.
